Chapter 26

Riddles

I couldn't believe that Gus was a vampire! Although, it wasn't surprising… He was never at school when the sun was out and he sometimes skipped classes. But his eyes at school were brown… Now, they were crimson red. His look was menacing right now.

"Now, I was hoping that we didn't have to fight back at your house. And now that I see Elizabeth awake, this is bad. How did this happen?" He asked.

"So I undid the spell, how is that wrong?" I asked as I tried to straighten myself up. "No one should have to be unconscious like that!" I started saying but suddenly, he was right beside me and he put a hand on my stomach. Suddenly, I felt as if my whole body was cramping up badly and I felt myself hit the ground. Did he take the shackles off of me first? I tried to move or to get up but my body wouldn't function right. All I could do was talk.

"Now, we won't have to go through a lot of trouble." He said as he sat next to my limp body.

"What did you do to her?!" Lizzy screamed from her cell.

"It will paralyze her until I need her. And now, I wish to talk to her. And I need to prepare myself for when I talk to her little boyfriend…" He said with a grin on his face. He seemed to be enjoying this.

"Don't you dare… touch him…!" I said. The Nerve Ending spell wasn't just supposed to paralyze the victim but it was meant to put pain on the victim. And boy was I feeling the pain.

"Oh, I won't touch him. I will make him suffer like his family made me suffer…" He said. Family? He better not be talking about the Cullens right now or I'll mess him up good! "You see, when I had first moved to Olympia fifty years ago, I wanted some fresh human blood. I went looking around and who did I run into? The beautiful Rosalie Hale. Although, she wasn't alone… She was with many other vampires with her. And I do believe that your boyfriend was there. They wanted to stop me. I had just discovered my powers and I wanted to test it. They were the perfect target… But I didn't know how to use them…

"I was quite vulnerable at the time. The Cullens found it quite amusing to see me fail in front of them. On the other hand, I was quite mortified. They attacked me and gave me this scar." He said as he lifted his shirt to show his stomach. There was a long scar around his stomach line that hadn't healed.

"Vampires… aren't supposed to get… normal scars…" I said as the pain kept coming. It came in waves and the waves kept coming every second.

"Normally, they aren't. But when you are gifted with magical powers, your vampire abilities change. You see, my healing system changed when I received the black magic. Now, I am scarred with this for eternity. Your new family will pay the price like I did." He said as he got up and undid the spell on me. The pain was gone but I was still unable to move. "I'll come back for you soon. Time to let your boyfriend know how you're doing." He said before leaving the cell and leaving me on the floor.

"Are you alright?" Lizzy asked with her hands on the bars that now separated our cell room. I tried lifting myself up by the elbows but my body ached so much, I still got to the wall.

"Yeah… Peachy…" I said. I knew I would be weak for a few minutes but it couldn't be helped.

I started asking Lizzy how she got here and she was happy to respond. I mean, we were both stuck in here until someone found out where we were. Luckily, Lizzy figured that out. We were in Vancouver, and apparently, in an old movie theatre from the eighteen hundreds that was abandoned long ago. When she was captured, she wasn't captured by Gus. It seems that he's working with another vampire. It had been a month since she was captured but they've been nice. They gave her food and water and a few books to keep her entertained. Well, nice to know evil vampires can be nice once in a while. But they did give her fiction books, which wasn't her type but she started liking the type.

I asked her to keep the vampire thing a secret and she was willing to agree. She didn't want to upset anyone, and if anyone found out about the Cullens being vampires, they would be very upset.

A few hours later, Gus and another vampire came back on my side of the cell. I didn't recognize the other vampire but she hit me on the neck and that made me dizzy for a little bit. It knocked me to the ground and they dragged me somewhere dark and put me in shackles—probably so that I wouldn't escape. Even though my vision was blurry, they put something over my head to cover my eyes. Great… They must be planning something that I shouldn't see. All I could hear was some sparkling.

"Well, hello there Cullen family." I could hear Gus saying.

"Who are you?" A child-like voice said. That was definitely Emmett.

"Wait, I've seen you around school." Rosalie pointed out.

"You're Jules's friend." Carlisle said.

"Well, not exactly." Gus said. There was a sudden pause and then, I heard a gasp. "I am the vampire that you mortified fifty years ago!"

"What do you want?" I heard a velvety voice ask. I could tell it was Edward's voice.

"Let's see if you can decipher this riddle… My name is like a bird, but not as graceful, but I do love you so, and I would rather die than stay away from you. Janine, start the countdown. If you do not answer the riddle within ten strikes of this whip, it will be game over already. Pitiful if that happens…" Gus said as the other vampire—I'm guessing it was Janine—started striking my back with the whip. I didn't want to give Gus any satisfaction so, I didn't scream. I held in the screams and straightened up every time the whip came at me.

I could hear the Cullens discussing about the riddle but the whip kept coming. Five… six… seven… I could feel tears coming down my face as the whip came one last time before it stopped. I could see that the Cullens stopped before the last strike came. I could feel something slide down my back. It might have been some blood.

"If you have Jules, I'm going to rip you apart slowly and painfully!" I heard Edward snarl at Gus. Was he in the room right now?

"Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" I heard Gus say as I felt something on my head. Then, I felt the bag being lifted off my head and I could see my surroundings. The room was lit by torches but it didn't really illuminate the room much. But in front of me was a giant glowing orb that showed the Cullens. They looked shocked as they saw me. I must look horrible right now.

"Jules!" I saw Alice scream. Everyone looked worried.

"Why you…" Edward asked.

"Oh, don't worry… I haven't done anything to her… yet. No, the party is just getting started." He said menacingly. He came towards me and was about to touch my head when I saw Rosalie step in the scene.

"Don't touch her!" She screamed. Suddenly, Gus put his hand behind my neck and his cold fingers were going down my spine. It really disgusted me and apparently, Edward, Alice and Rosalie had the same feeling. They snarled and Gus took his hand off and seemed amused.

"Now, this is way better than cable." A female voice said behind me. It must have been Janine.

"You're right Janine. But something that would be much better would be to see Edward weep…" Gus said as I heard him snap his fingers and suddenly, a high pitched noise sounded in my ear. I felt my body stiffen and I couldn't move or talk at all. Was he using his magic on me again?

"What did you do to her?!" Edward snarled.

"What lovely things paralysis can do to a person." I felt him touch my cheek and I tried to look at him. He looked pleased. "I can do whatever I want to you without complaints. Like this for instants." He said as he leaned down to put his lips on mine. Edward could see what was going on… Why was Gus doing this to him?! He kissed me but it wasn't tender. It was fierce. A second later, he took his lips off of mine and looked pleased. If I could gag right now, I would all over Gus's fancy shoes. "Now that was pleasant."

"Get away from her!" Alice snarled. I hated this right now… I never wanted any of this to happen. If I wasn't with Edward right now, none of this would have happened.

"Oh, I have one last thing planned." Gus said as he took out a little bottle filled with a pink liquid inside. What was that? "Let's hope your girlfriend likes the taste…" He said as he took the cap off of the bottle and opened my mouth.

"Don't touch her!" Edward snarled. He looked menacing at the scene. He shouldn't have to see this.

"I want you to suffer like I suffered, Cullens! And this is going to be the key to break you!" He said as he poured the liquid in my mouth. It was revolting but suddenly, I felt like my lungs were giving out on me. My insides felt like they were churning like an oven that couldn't be shut down. It hurt so badly that my eyes shot open. "Poison works wonder on humans."

"Jules!" I saw Emmett say. He was usually this sweet guy but his voice was venomous.

"Now, now. Let's not make this harder than it already is. This poison works slowly and very painfully. You have four days to find her. If not, well… let's just say goodbye to her right now." He said as the screen went black and I couldn't see the Cullens anymore. Edward looked pained the last time I saw him. Now, my vision was getting worse. I could see black spots and the pain was intense. I didn't know that poison could work like this…

"Don't worry. I'll hold to my word about the four days. My black magic poison works slowly but effectively. Let's get you back in your cell and wait for the Cullens to play hide and seek. Well, mostly seek." He said as Janine took my shackles off and dragged me to my cell. Lizzy looked worried about me because I looked in pain. But that's how I felt. He locked me to the shackles in the cell and left me there with a sick and menacing smile. "Have fun…" He said before leaving me with Lizzy. This would be a long and painful four days… or less if they found me earlier.

Alright so please don't hate me for doing this. I only did this for the story. So please REVIEW!!!
